I live in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. I decided to come to Greece for fertility treatment, because of my age.

IVF and Age

I’m 46 years old. I’m a British lady, but because of my age, nobody was willing to treat me in Abu Dhabi, so I found the Embio Medical Centre through the internet, and I was really happy with all the testimonials that I read, the background, the professionalism, the expertise of the doctors and the nurses here.

Natural IVF Cycle

So I first came over here about two weeks ago just to familiarize myself with the Clinic and with the treatment.

I actually started my treatment 3 days ago. I’m here by myself. My husband couldn’t come with me.

I’ve been really happy with the treatment that I’ve had here. Everybody’s really looked after me. I was nervous when I first arrived. All my nerves disappeared when I was with everybody, took great care of me. The atmosphere is really nice. Luckily, so far everything is working out, so I’m back here today. I’ve seen the Doctor, the embryologists, all the nurses again.

I’m extremely happy with the treatment that I’ve had here.

So, I’m 46 years old. The treatment I’ve had here is actually to use my own egg.

I was encouraged by other people that I’d probably need a donor egg, but the Doctor here was happy that I could have a natural cycle. That’s what we’ve done so far that’s proved successful, and I’m very happy with the embryo that’s been produced.

The Embio IVF Clinic

The Clinic itself, well, it is in Athens, was very easy to find. I just got taxis here every day. Everybody knows it. It’s a 10 minute drive from Maroussi where I’m staying, while I’ve been here in Greece.

IVF Cost

The cost of the treatment was a big surprise to me, significantly lower than I was anticipating it to be, 1,500 euros for the natural cycle treatment, and I’m extremely happy with that.
